wouldnt be a bad idea....if youve already applied and are still having problems, call them..it helps 100% of the time.
CPA Storm is evil.
When I signed up I got a call from their "compliance" department who demanded a list of all my domains since I used privacy protection on the one I gave in my signup form.
Oh yeah. not just the ones I was going to use to promote their offers. All of them.
I more or less told them "no, go fuck yourselves" in nicer terms, and assured them I'd send nice and compliant traffic. Then I got my AM, who on the rare occasion I've contacted her has acted like it was a major hassle to even talk to me with basic questions("How are conversions on XYZ?").
Needless to say, I send them no traffic.

Apply and then follow up. Not sure if they still are accepting GPT sites, bu you can give it a shot!
man there's sooooooo many fraud applications when it comes to gpt sites it's really out of control. I can imagine why you didn't get very far. Please don't say you're from Vietman, Chia or India as you'll be SOL no matter where you go. There might be a network that would take yah but they won't be around for long 
My GPT site is limited to US / Cananda / UK / Australia..

I ran a GPT in 06 that grew to approx 5000 members; out of the 9000 or so actions generated per month, roughly 460 would come back fraudulent. That's literally a 5% fraud rate ... which none of the advertisers or networks were happy with.
I ended up filtering members by geo-ip but threw in the towel when another project took off. Point of the story though is that I came close to burning a few bridges with the networks. If you plan on keeping the GPT site up long-term I'd suggest working with a few networks that are already familiar with the fraud rates and set up to deal with it. Also, setup your payouts accordingly ... so you never end up taking the hit.

Overall, if GPT sites had a 5% fraud rate that wouldn't be that big a deal to handle and these types of sites would still be flourishing. The problem is that for every GPT site that can handle things properly, there are 100 that are running rampant with fraud. Even worse, these 100 aren't just sending fraud to the low paying "win an iPod" type sites - they're sending fraud to high-paying CC-required subscription-model offers, which just kills the end merchant's bottom line when they start to see chargebacks, inability to charge the CC's a second time, and penalties from their CC processor.
Most networks don't allow these types of sites, and any that do are taking serious risks of non-payment from their end merchant when the merchant get major pissed at the quality or, worse, when the merchant closes up shop because they've lost too much money.
